Observations
A piece in the magazine "Vogue" of 1 October 1943 noted: 'As an experiment, painter Dalí took along with him on a recent holiday a few modern fashion accessories - in order to see what part they might play in one of his new paintings. On the next pages is the imaginative result - accessories of today transplanted into a mythological world.'
